PSP And DS Duke It Out

Posted by Zonk on from the xtc-vs.-adam-ant dept.

With the looming launch of Sony's handheld console, X-Play has a series of articles comparing and contrasting the new and shiny portable gaming consoles. The articles are broken into three parts, The PSP vs. the DS, The DS vs. the PSP, and The Final Verdict. From the final article: "Are two screens better than one? Are graphics all that matter? In this third and final edition of my Sony PSP vs. Nintendo DS editorial, I'll compare each handheld bit-by-bit and determine which of the two is worth your hard-earned cash."

    Because X-Play is the pinnacle of games journalism. An ideal blend of style and content that all should strive to match. . .

    We didn't have no fancy E-lec-tronic games! For "handheld games" we had a paddleball! And some days we didn't even have the string! Or the ball! Or the paddle! And we liked it! We liked it justy fine!

    You tell kids that these days, and they just don't believe you...

    I'll just wait for Penny Arcade to make a comic comparing the two before I make any decisions.

    Hmmpf, the header fooled me into thinking they were using Duke Nukem Forever as a benchmark!

    Can you use the PSP to draw penises at your friends? What's the use of it then?

    For a short second I thought that Duke Nukem Forever has been released.

    (functionality may be different because it only has one screen.)

    May? MAY? I'd say that's about a 100% certainty. That's like saying your computer may work differently without a mouse.

    Jesus, Slashdot needs defnses against people like you. You can't just put two ideas next to each other and draw lines to connect the buzzwords. It might have worked on your vocab tests in 3rd grade but we're a little more advanced now that you've grown up.

    I've noticed this. Mario Kart is like the Errol Flynn of video games.
